MAN Diesel & Turbo has won an order for a complete propulsion package for a newbuild 7500 DWT chemical tanker owned by IÇDAŞ Çelik Enerji Tersane Ve Ulaşim Sanayi AŞ.
The package ordered features a full HyProp ECO system with PTO/PTH.
HyProp ECO is a system solution that combines a diesel engine with a frequency-converter-driven shaft-alternator/motor and features multiple operational modes. Jointly developed by Vacon and MAN Diesel & Turbo, the system combines the advantages of a bi-directional operating frequency converter for the shaft machine with a high-efficiency CP propeller plant. HyProp ECO is also open for shore connection and the integration of energy storage devices / batteries.
The propulsion package also features a MAN 6L32/44CR common-rail main engine, an MAN Alpha Kappel propeller and an MAN SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system capable of operating on MGO, MDO and HFO.
The newbuild vessel will be delivered in September 2017.
